[Guruvayur/Guruvayoor] Time for Bhakti.

October 6, 2006

Dear Sunil and other friends of the forum and Krishna-bhaktas,

Radhe Krishna!

Sunilji has acknowledged what I had written sometime back about the

division among our Hindus themselves instead of proving ourselves to be

a unifying force. I hope wiser counsel will prevail and all of us,

irrespective of the different mini-faiths in which we find ourselves,

forget our group/personal identities and feel ourselves one with the

Lord and offer Him all our Bhakti. Let us dedicate ourselves to

chanting His names jointly, wherever we are between 6 and 7 p.m. or any

other time acceptable to ourselves and sing His glories. During the

rest of the time, in whatever preoccupations we are, let us keep Him

enshrined in our minds and think of Him only. Let us not, for

Heaven's sake, stop worrying about Whose Avatara Who is, and focus our

minds only on Him. Speaking of myself, I have got convinced that the

Lord's ways are inscrutable and beyond human comprehension. Let those

who want to engage themselves in investigative spirituality go ahead

and do that.

Regards

KVG.

Dear Devotee Members,

I think it is a shame for us to in-fight in the name of our God.

How can we talk about issues like religious conversion or eradication

of poverty when we fight about our own Gods and their supremacy???

I think the reason for Hinduism's suffering in recent decades is due

to this division among us, not because of other religions or money

pouring from outside. Why blame others for the lack of our unity?

Anyway, I request all of you to take a minute and think about what we

are doing in the name of God!

Please respect others and their views. Let us stop wasting our time on

proving whose is the supreme God. (I am sure that discussion will not

reach anywhere except every one calling each other bad names)

So, let us move on to Bhakti.

Om Namo Narayanaya:

Krishna, Guruvayoorappa!

Amme Narayana:

Sunil.

HARI AUM

Dear Shree Sunil,

The only word I can think of is :

WELL SAID and WELL DONE.

After having noticed the tendencies in some of the

postings to smear and use unwanted comments and attack

personally I had repeatedly quoted the verse from Gita

clearly stating the standards to be adopted while

communicating with others.

I suggest that as a principle none shall take up

cudgels for and against the views expressed in this

forum. The contrarian views should be expressed

keeping the decorum of the said view and the person.

On behalf of the members I request you, Sunil, to

kindly bear with us for the instances.

We know that by maintaining this group you are in fact

giving each one of us an opportunity to express

ourselves to an audience. It was our foolhardiness to

cross the limits and put you to pain and shame.

From now on I am sure each one of us shall keep up to

the high standards in our interactions through this

forum.

Once again extending our apologies to you,

and Thanking You for the tolerances

On Behalf of the :

The Most Well Behaved Memebers of This Forum

Dear devotees, Sanaathana Dharmam has the highest tolerance to other relegions.There is only one supreme god. He may be called in different names by various people. Water which can quench our thirst is called in various names in different languages. The same water we can fetch using various means also. Similarly for attaining the supreme there are various means. However all are talking the same about the supreme god though the names differ. Even if someone says there is no form for god also we can appreciate it since Srimad bhagavatham says Brahmedi, Paramatmedi, Bhagavaan , iti sabdyathe.
